It is well known that runners run more slowly around a curved track than a straight one. One hypothesis to explain this is that the total force from the track on a runner's feet-the magnitude of the vector sum of the normal force (that has average value mg to counteract gravity) and the inward-directed friction force that causes the runner's centripetal acceleration-is greater when running around a curve than on a straight track. Runners compensate for this greater force by increasing the time their feet are in contact with the ground, which slows them down Bensi Gortants Part A For sprinters running at 6 m/s around a curved track of adus 16 m how much greater jas a percentage) is the average total face on their feet compared to when they are running in a straight in Express your answer as percentage.
